China Holidays

One of the oldest continuous civilisations on earth, and home to 1.3 billion people, China is a wealth of history, culture, and character. It is also ploughing ahead to be the most influential superpower in the world.

A massive country, covering six million square miles and spanning 60 longitudinal degrees China is full of beautiful natural landscapes, mystical ancient temples and cities and enthralling history. From the wind-swept plains of the Gobi Desert, serene rice fields and rural villages to the surprisingly quick, never-ending busy pace of its crowded modern cities, China’s contrasts are near impossible to describe, but wondrous to behold.

One of the greatest aspects of a holiday to China is a chance to explore some of its ancient historical monuments and ruins including one of the true wonders of the world: the Great Wall (stretching approximately 5,500 miles from east to west). Another spectacular historical attraction is the Forbidden City (also called the Palace Museum or Gugong Museum), it was the imperial home of 24 emperors in the Ming dynasty and one of the best-preserved palace complexes in the world. X’ian’s Terracotta Army and Tiananmen Square also make for an incredible and fascinating visit. Additionally the country’s vast stretching landscape offers beautiful natural attractions including the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the Silk Road, and Hainan Island.

Some of the most popular city destinations are the flourishing futuristic city of Shanghai, the fast-paced every busy city that is Hong Kong, or the country’s beautiful capital city Beijing host of the 2008 Olympics and close to many of the main historical attractions.

A luxury holiday in China is one you will not soon forget. The people, culture, natural and historical landmarks are full of awe-inspiring ancient and modern spectacle and yet still offer subtle nuances that will leave you in wonder. You may also wish to consider a multi-centre trip which includes a visit to one of China’s intriguing neighbours such as Thailand or Vietnam.
